Not exactly the same, but I tried my friend's 17s from his G35 on my Sport. They just barely didn't work on the rear. There's a step in the barrel of the wheel that contacts the caliper.

Hm sounds like it won't work. Well I'll find out for sure tonight. Going to the track.

I guess its sometimes good to have a base model... was able to fit 16" 300zx wheels that weighed insanely light on my rears last season...

had a hard time with the et streets on them though as they swayed like a mofo and made it very uneasy about going all out on them...

they weighed 14 pounds less a wheel/tire than my stock rears...

but to be real, no its not good to have base brakes, lol....

I've fitted a set of 18's on an akebono equipped G37... there was barely any clearance, nevermind 17's.

Drag radials didn't fit with the 17's. Ran a 13.5 at 104, which is about the same as last time. I got more grip this time but the DA was worse.

What's going on a INDE this weekend ?

my buddies friends are going down there so I jumped in on it. about 25 cars are heading down, mostly vettes and an evo and one other 370 is what im told. Im kind of hesitant on going due to the extremely cold temps.

At least you're consistent. It doesn't look like next Thursday will be any better of a day either...I'm itching to go, too!

Awesome! Going for 11.99? I'd love to it. I haven't seen a single 370Z with nitrous on the forums, surprisingly.

I'm shooting for mid 12's cuz I'm only gonna run a 50 or 75 shot. But 11's would be awesome! I haven't seen another 370 with nitrous either, which actually makes me kinda nervous.

curious on results... just throw it on a dyno and have an uprev map for nitrous and you should be fine...

Even with a 125 you should be fine if you have a tune for it, i know the companies claim they control the fuel but I wouldn't trust that without actually monitoring it before I used it... good luck !!

With a 75 shot I would def go low 12s, 125 should drop a full bolt on 370 to 11.9-12.0 with good driving, or possibly better....

I'll keep you guys posted. BTW the kit is for an HR 350Z, so I'm hoping I wont have any problems making it fit.

You shouldn't have any problems...I'll be looking forward to your results. I'll probably come out that night since I'm putting my camber arms on in the rear and having it aligned tomorrow.
